VPOD: YSL Magic


Question: Who is the highest earning dead celebrity?

Go on, take a guess. Michael Jackson? Nope. Elvis Presley? Nope. Marilyn Monroe. Nope.

The answer? (Drumroll please...)

Mr. Yves Saint Laurent. This is according to Forbes list of the highest earning dead celebrities released yesterday. Since his death from brain cancer in 2008, Yves Saint Laurent has earned over $350 million, beating the #2 duo of Rodgers and Hammerstein who posthumously earned only $235 million.

Now buying vintage Yves Saint Laurent won't help keep this fashion master at the top of this prestigious list, but it will do a whole lot to elevate the standing of your own wardrobe. Just take a look at today's VPOD.

This matte gold blazer is from the 1990s and features YSL's ability to turn menswear into devastatingly sexy looks for women. Hang it up in your closet and you'll find all sorts of items magnetically drawn to it: black trousers, skinny pencil skirts, leggings, and dresses.

It's a bit of metallic YSL magic for a vintage fashionsta!

Available from Rare Vintage on 1stdibs.
